Yes, as Issaac suggests perhaps we should drop the String parameter to OtherOS since it tells you nothing useful.
You can match on
OtherOS "BeOS"
while you wait for the BeOS alternative to be added, although you do need a dash of CPP to support both old and new compilers once it has been added.
Hmm, but how is the base lib going to be set up to return OtherOS "BeOS"? This would have to be done during porting, wouldn't it be just as easy for said porter to add BeOS to the OSType enumeration?
I was thinking of uname output, but it's true that GHC at least will just fail if it doesn't recognise the platform. I'm not sure about the other impls. Thanks Ian
